Method
Step 1
Preparation: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare all ingredients as indicated above. Halve the lemon and juice.
Step 2
Tex Mex casserole: Place a large frying pan on medium to heat. Dry fry the beef until browned – 3 to 5 minutes. It will stick a bit until the fat is released. Then add the Tex Mex Spice Mix and tinned tomatoes. Stir well, turn the heat down to medium and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Season if needed with salt and pepper. Place the mixture in a casserole dish and top with jalapeños and cheese. Pop into the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, until nicely browned on top.
Step 3
Sour cream: Mix the sour cream and spring onions. Place into a small serving dish and set aside.
Step 4
Green salad: Add these ingredients to a salad bowl: lettuce, olive oil and lemon juice (see quantities above). Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss well.
Step 5
Serve: Divide the casserole between the plates with a dollop of sour cream on top and a serving of green salad on the side.
